Abstract

BACKGROUND: Periodontitis (PD) is a common chronic inflammatory disease affecting the gums and supporting tooth structures. It is often diagnosed only after significant irreversible tissue damage - such as gum recession and bone loss - has occurred, leading to tooth loss and systemic complications. Early detection of PD risk is therefore critical. This study integrates the Pyramid Scene Parsing Network (PSPNet), a deep learning model, with dental plaque microbial profiling data to generate a Periodontitis Risk Score (PRS) for identifying individuals at high risk of developing PD.
